To My Friends...

It started out as a silent hum
barely audible
but, in a still quiet
I could make out the tune
and the darkness felt a little less lonely

Time went by
a few more voices were added
and I didn't have to strain so much
to make out the tune
familiar and comforting

Now here I stand
surrounded by music
harmonies sung in unison
a beautiful song
a song that helps me find my way back


Many friends gathered
reminding me of my inner song
and when I am too weak
and can't bare to mouth the words
I sit quietly and they sing it for me
